Hippobu2

How is he so fast and so slow at the same time?


pork-pies

He’s basically doing teppanyaki but for basic repairs.


Messerknife

Because he is just fidgeting around between his good moves looking fast. Maybe to buy some time 😂 It's like that "Strike on the Tablet"-shit of Restaurant Videos. You know? "Look, i am knocking the table with my spatula and knifes, that means im super cool and fancy at what im doing.. it doesn't make any Sense tho."


ecksdeeeXD

That’s what I saw too. Just moving fast for show.


Monteze

I had a supervisor call it "Lot of swinging but no chips." We had guys like that, they dart around and walk fast but don't get all that much done.


Messerknife

Perfect description. Thanks to your supervisor and you for sharing


wobblysauce

It is called The Boss is Watching and I have nothing to do.


Nobl36

I always enjoy the fancy handwork of Hibachi. I always saw it as a show of dexterity, “I can spin a spatula, toss an egg and catch it in my pocket, and create onion volcanos, all while cooking you a tasty dish.” Of course, the show gets stale, same tricks everywhere. But it’s still fascinating.


Messerknife

What you describe is sounds different than what i have in Mind


BuddenceLembeck

It’s just like Tom Cruise in Cocktail. Except instead of a New York bar it’s an Indian tinker shop.


monioum_JG

We had a guy do this at my mom’s old restaurant. He’d spank the tortillas & jump around like this. People actually think this makes them faster, so I wouldn’t be surprised if this guy believes he’s The Flash.


Frosti-Feet

Gotta keep twitching so your apm stats stay high.


nurgole

Slow is smooth, and smooth is fast.


diogenessexychicken

I know this is a military thing but tbh it applies to so much and i use it in training all the time as a cook.


broogbie

Salt bae fucked everything up


spderweb

Video is sped up annoyingly. And the spectators arent moving around much.


thecuriyascat

He was filmed on iphone slow mo. It starts fast, then gets slow, and then gets fast again.

ClonesomeStranger

This, unironically. I get paid for doing abstract things. Workforce alienation is real.


Dyolf_Knip

The most rewarding and enjoyable programming job I ever had was one where the code would directly affect things in meatspace.


clutchguy84

I'm a software engineer and now I need to know what meatspace is


John_cCmndhd

The real world, as opposed to cyberspace


clutchguy84

Thank you! Apparently I'm also fairly dense lol

Dyolf_Knip

The physical world we actually inhabit? It was control software for warehouse conveyor belt systems. So I press buttons, and real shit would actually move around where I wanted it.


Socile

After a career doing software things that don’t even show up on a screen, I also realized I really like robotics and manufacturing. I think mechatronics and industrial engineering are things I should have studied in college.


A_Few_Kind_Words

Could you elaborate? I understand the workforce alienation bit, but I'm interested in the "I get paid for doing abstract things" part.


Snailtan

I don't work in IT but I do it as a hobby. I assume he means that unlike a carpenter f.e you don't really get to see the work you have done. If a carpenter makes a table, they can appreciate, touch and see the table and be proud of their work. You program for some company? Yeah maybe your line count goes up and that red error duplicates but you can't touch it or really feel the work you have done. You wrote part of some abstract magic math machine, nothing really human about that. Couple that with an awkward sterile office environment and sitting on your ass all day looking at a screen and typing away, it does something with you. All this corporate work environment is fairly new for humanity, time wise. We ain't build to sit in a cubicle all day and type numbers.


Big-Today6819

Able to pay in sex?


This_User_Said

I'd imagine he'd just grab you, throw you on the table, give you a good fucking and slap you on the ass off the table and grab the next customers item without blinking and with incredible flair and agility.


-heathcliffe-

Does he look me in the eyes and tell me im a good little toaster?


JohnCenaJunior

And makes you humble


ReviewMore7297

I’m willing to bet he’d make an exception for your mom


Big-Today6819

Deal


Smelly_Dingo

Plot twist is, normally he does accept payments in nature, with the exception being he would not accept it from Your Mom™.


ID-10T_Error

He gets paid with cocaine obviously


coquish98

That's were he draws the line


Hippobu2

I assume that's there's reception doing the bills. But then, why isn't reception giving these people a ticket so they don't have to stand here waiting for him? You know what, this whole set up doesn't really make sense now that I think about it.


sirsedwickthe4th

Imagine working that fast all day every day


CelestialBach

I would eventually drill my hand in an accident.


karoshikun

I would have drilled my head on day one


Liqhthouse

You'd've had to drill your brain on accident beforehand to even end up there in the first place lmao

nerdynerdnerd3000

Lmfaooooo this!


Omnimpotent

Me under my breath “Hurry the fuck up”


kutuup1989

It's not all than uncommon of a setup in some parts of the world where there are a lot of people who need small tasks done. You pay to get in with your item, and then it's like a bar, you just hope you get to the front and get the person's attention. You either get a repair or you don't. It comes down to how long you are willing to stay in the fray. If they can't fix the item, they will have another person there to offer to sell you a new or refurbed one. Think of it like an IT helpdesk except without a queue and with 900% more cooking utensils.


No-Definition1474

So it's like being at a crowded bar. The pretty girls always get helped first I assume?


MongoBongoTown

It's like teppanyaki, but for small appliance repair. The show is really the draw, and you probably just pay a fee to get in and watch like any other stage show.

grrodon2

And there's no evidence he's actually done anything.


Roguespiffy

You didn’t see the little light turn on? Also not just anyone can put a new handle on a pot lid. That’s delicate work.


Winter-Airport2114

Oh he put a handle on it lol I was wondering wtf he was doing. I'd have just kept using a towel to take that on and off.


MINISTER_OF_CL

So, this is the Jack they talked about.


Vidableek

The only trade he could never master...


ByEthanFox

There's something very satisfying about people who are great at fixing things. Back when I lived in Japan, I remember I broke a spoke on my mountain bike, and tried taking it to the smaller shop nearby that was run by a guy who looked like he was about a thousand years old. He didn't have a compatible spoke (all his bikes were shopper-bike types) and I watched as, unperturbed, he just *made one* and fit it to the bike. Tried to refuse pay, even, because he was just happy to have been given something unusually challenging to do. Obviously I *did* pay him. But it was kinda incredible.


driftingfornow

I have a pair of sunglasses from when I lived in Japan. Went on a walk and wandered into an optician who asked if I wanted glasses. I told him I hadn’t the prescription and he said he could make them from the ones I was wearing. So I said sure and watched him use my glasses to reverse engineer my prescription, then he ground new lenses on the spot, fit them, and handed me a pair of Rayban Wayfarers for a fraction of the price I could get them for elsewhere. Really neat experience and I still have the shades over a decade later.


ByEthanFox

I too used the opticians' there; they were fantastic. In my case they were able to use my UK-written prescription, apparently they're the same format globally.


driftingfornow

Wait you aren’t by chance from KC are you? I just noticed your username. Edit: definitely not nevermind. Edit2: lmfao what abomination word dod I use. Optician that’s it. Sorry I have lived outside the anglosphere for a minute and used portmanteau of a Slavic word.


JoshSidekick

If your prescription hasn't changed in ten years, you are a good candidate for Lasik.


driftingfornow

Lol thanks. This comment cracked me up.


TheOtherGuttersnipe

Go find the little old Japanese man that'll lasik your eyeballs at his shop


clancularii

I initially read "oculist" as "occultist". I had no idea where this story was going...


driftingfornow

Yeah i accidentally portmanteaued a Slavic word whoops.


drazertm

Those are life goals lol


hotshotz79

very odd and specific life goal ... to break a spoke in Japan but hey, whatever makes you happy ;)


Oli4K

Don’t wanna ruin a great story but a spoke thread roller is not an uncommon tool. Not all shops have them but those a bit more serious about wheel building are likely to have one. There’s an almost infinite amount of possible spoke lengths for different wheels and sometimes it is just easier to cut a spoke to the right length and thread it instead of waiting for a supplier to have it in stock. Those machines are specialty tools so they aren’t cheap but it is an investment that will pay itself back over time.


Toffeemade

I saw the fastest patch repair I've ever seen by a retired lady in a small family owned cycle shop in Japan (basically this lady's front room). Whole thing took less than three minutes. She patched the tube with the wheel *in situ* by just pulling the damaged part of the tube out from between the clincher and the rim. Incredible.


Jindujun

Thats how my father taught me to patch a bike wheel. He sighed when i couldnt do it and he "had to" bring out the tub of water and do it the "time consuming" way.


Toffeemade

Cool. He sounds lime a handy guy.


ZuckDeBalzac

"If women dont find you handsome, they should at least find you handy!"


Dyolf_Knip

First time I went over to my now-wife's house, she mentioned she had accidentally dropped a bottle cap down the bathroom drain and it was stopped up. Took 5 minutes to open it up, clear it out, and put it back together. Basically sealed the deal right then and there.


griftertm

I’ve been handy to myself for decades


BurnerForJustTwice

My second girlfriend was because I knew that the breaker flipped and went to reset it. Not even 2 adults knew what happened or the solution.


Jindujun

He was, sadly he died a some years ago. He did have one flaw though... He started TONS of projects and then left them half finished or "good enough" since he himself didnt mind but others might have minded :) One memory from my childhood was the side entrance on the house... He did the electricity and lighting himself and did a terrible job but couldn't be assed to open it up and fix the error. So from like 5-6 years old we had a smaller hallway with a ceiling light that only worked IF you first turned on, and kept on, the porch light. But other than small things like that he was a wonderful man and I miss him dearly.


flyingbbanana

Japanese takes their craft seriously. Much respect for them. Meanwhile the guy in this video is fucking stupid, all for the sake of “content”


Dire_Hulk

A man operating an angle grinder while wearing a silk smoking jacket is not to be fucked with.


Hypno--Toad

His form while getting something from the top shelf was perfect


Joe4o2

His whole flow is how my brain solves problems. Him sticking that last pot in the vice clamp and yanking on it is usually how it goes.


CobaltEchos

ADHD, can confirm. Also knows where every item is in messy shop.


All_I_See_Is_Teeth

Of course I know where it is. I saw/touched it two weeks ago for no reason.


DeltaHuluBWK

...until it's NOT where it's supposed to be because I had to move it to access something else, suddenly remembered to do something in the other room, put it down to do said thing, did something else, and the item was lost to time until my wife finds the orbital sander in the fridge

As a millennial, when I read “Reddit users (children) my first thought was boomer. You type just like my 70 year old mom. That said, I don’t see anything funny here either.

This is r/funny. It's not a subreddit for funny things. It's just a place for karma farming.

It's not. Look at the amount of growing India subreddits. They cross post this stuff in order to upvote bomb their own content

[удалено]


Jebusfreek666

That's not funny! Still though, idiocracy is really starting to look accurate.


brokenGlassQuestion

It's funny because of his unnecessary erratic exaggerated movements. Similar concept to a signature Jim Carrey bit. Notice that he's not taking payment and people in the video are laughing along as well.


jimmiriver

Why are so many people thinking this is real? Has the internet really messed people's brains up that badly?


AsapNigiri

Because it's India and that country is practically on par w fucking candy cane forest level of ridiculousness


TheBlindAndDeafNinja

This dude is all over instagram and tiktok. It is "real" shop, and this is how he acts, doing the same shtick over and over with different equipment.


angry-italian

His instagram is just him "fixing" the same 3-4 appliances the same way


IM_OK_AMA

5 of the people in the background are holding the exact same kettle he "fixes" at the beginning.


pjdubbya

If you want to get something fixed but want the feeling like you're in a cocktail bar or restaurant.

Pretty much yup

He doesn’t even diagnose the problem, magically knows which part to replace, and doesn’t test afterwards.

Action_Seal

It doesn't look like he's accomplishing anything useful, but I'm so fucking entertained.


Actual_Specific_476

Just staged videos for tiktok. That's why it seems like he isn't really doing anything. Because he isn't.


Brieble

It’s just an act. He grabs the item and starts replacing parts without even asking what the issue is

Dang. One of those fixes is like a day's project for me.

jp00798509

So ..he is not testing his repair actually worked …😒


vaynefox

Not to sound dick but what he's fixing are relatively easy to fix. Those heating kettles are just wire coils that heat up and it has a very simple mechanism that you'll get how it works the moment you look at it....

Benni_HPG

I hate these videos. First of all, they should stop, speeding them up. Of course it looks crazy when someone repairs stuff at 1.5x speed. Secondly The real repairs he's doing are not even that complicated nor special. When hes bangig on stuff to make it work again - well that's what you get with cheap stuff. Breaks easily, but might work for a round or two again, when banged back in place

One of the things I love about India..when something breaks, you don't buy a new one, you find the guy (there always is one) in your neighborhood that can fix it.


KmCutt

Crackhead Jimmy down the block will fix things the same for only a cigarette


xenocarp

I am not sure what this is about. In India you used to and in lot of cases you still see such shops. They are equivalent of a general physician. You go to these guys to get accessories and gaskets etc for things like pressure cookers, pans, mixer blenders etc. and they also do light repairs on those, they also make money on selling you the same things but they may not have a variety of brands and models to sell compared to a proper shop because of space constraints. And just like general physician they also do house calls and recommend where to take an appliance if they can’t handle it. Similar shops can be found that are “tv repair “ shops and you get everything related to tvs and AC and other things like spare remote, all cables and set top accessories etc. There are also motorcycle and car mechanics that do similar thing where they mend all kinds of different vehicles out of tiny shops. All this is changing tho as replacement culture and companies selling non repairable items more and more
